Teaching Chef - The Jamie Oliver Cookery School

at  Jamie Oliver Group

The Jamie Oliver Cookery School is growing. In spring 2025 we’re launching a flagship school - our second site - with John Lewis & Partners, in their Oxford Street store! As such, our team is expanding and we’re looking to grow our Teaching Chef team.
Teaching Chefs are the stars of our cookery school. They’re responsible for making our experiences as entertaining and educational as they can be. They demonstrate, teach and inspire the public to cook more beautifully at home.
We’re looking for ambitious, confident & food-obsessed candidates to join our teaching team and make this role their own. To create fantastic experiences, inspire the public, and cook delicious food!

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR

You don’t necessarily need a background in hospitality or cheffing! It will help, but it’s not vital.
We’re looking for someone who’s obsessed with food, passionate about people, and hungry to learn, develop and grow. You’ll be a very confident cook, and even more confident around people. You’ll be a fantastic communicator, and presenter.
If the above sounds like you, you could be our perfect candidate. We’ll train you on everything you need to run a class. Skills, recipes and knowledge. In return we need you to use your passion and hunger to inspire and enthuse a room of excited and eager guests.

Operational Excellence - You are responsible for your shifts being run in an optimal manner. They must be efficient, effective and professional:

• Efficient use of resources. Ensuring food waste is kept to a minimum.
• Effective use of your time, completing jobs for the school that go beyond your classes.
• Supporting Chef Leadership Team with the operating and evolution of the school, where required

Food Safety, Hygiene & Health and Safety - You are responsible and accountable for our exceptionally high regard for food safety, HACCP, H&S, and hygiene.

• Food safety. Having taken Level 3 Food Hygiene Training, you must adhere to what you’ve learned at all times.
• HACCP & Health and safety. You will follow all HACCP guidelines, and healthy and safety requirements.
• Hygiene and presentation. You’ll have a high level of respect and care for the businesses, and your own hygiene and presentation
